They decided they want us to stay in the house and are going to work with us to lower our monthly payment. I am kind of just laughing about the whole thing. We will stay in the house depending on how much they lower our monthly payment. We still owe on property taxes and our HOA, so they have to lower it enough for us to be able to afford to pay those two things. <br />I've just been praying about it and I know whatever is the best for us.. it will just work out. <br />I really do hope we can stay in the house for a few reasons.. <br />Even though I hate living in Orcutt, and I hate not having a fenced in yard, and I hate pretty much the house.. it's still our first house, that we (kind of) own... I want to be able to fix it up 100% and then maybe in a few years.. try and rent it out and move to AG..?<br />I don't know. <br />Whatever is meant to be.... yeah.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-46975517489788083162010-07-28T16:22:00.000-07:002010-07-28T16:32:59.748-07:00When is it right...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iTnENAd8U44/TFC8iWIw3EI/AAAAAAAAANY/0PDuwIpWT3s/s1600/143.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iTnENAd8U44/TFC8iWIw3EI/AAAAAAAAANY/0PDuwIpWT3s/s320/143.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499102443263286338" /></a><br />Oh how I miss this little tiny baby, who now is this big baby...<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iTnENAd8U44/TFC9JEaIfVI/AAAAAAAAANg/1ERyxBjW_7A/s1600/088.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_iTnENAd8U44/TFC9JEaIfVI/AAAAAAAAANg/1ERyxBjW_7A/s320/088.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499103108519198034" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So when do you know when it is right to add another little person into this world? I wasn't ready...at all..but the past few days.. my mind is changing. I am ready to be pregnant again, and to go through a crazy 9 months.. all to have another amazing little child. <br />Watching August grow and learn has been amazing, I wouldn't change it for anything. But I feel like he's so independent and loves playing with other children, I want him to have a sibling to play with and be close in age. <br />I know our life is hectic right now, but in some degree it will always be hectic!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-90511884883688727122010-07-23T09:26:00.000-07:002010-07-23T09:39:01.893-07:00The outcast.OVER IT...It's the phrase I'm going to use to describe how I feel about everything right now, other than August & Matt. I am kind of over everything. <br />I thought moving to California would be different....I thought it would let Matt and I get out and enjoy life. The weather is almost always perfect, don't have to worry about the snow or humidity. <br />But there's something I think I have come to realize. <br />I think that I had more fun in Illinois. We did WAY more things, and even though we have a child now, I know that we could do the same exact things we did then. <br />My biggest thing about moving to California was that I wanted the weather, and I wanted my friends. <br />But things aren't what they used to be.. everyone is changing, growing older, growing up, growing apart. <br />I had great friends in Illinois, yes we weren't childhood friends, I only knew them for 3 years, but they were still all awesome. <br /><br />If Matt told me, pack up.. we are moving to Chicago, I would be happy. Yes, I would cry when we actually left, knowing that I wouldn't see my friends or their kids, and August wouldn't have grown up with all my friends kids.. <br />But seriously, when do I see my friends anyway....sometimes only once a month!<br />I feel like I live in a different state.. and we are just 25 minutes away.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-2842785219182190562010-06-22T11:30:00.000-07:002010-06-22T11:45:30.497-07:00Friends: Melissa Haynie<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iTnENAd8U44/TCEEvENMRZI/AAAAAAAAANA/CrxMvZolm0Y/s1600/ralphweddingmewiss.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_iTnENAd8U44/TCEEvENMRZI/AAAAAAAAANA/CrxMvZolm0Y/s320/ralphweddingmewiss.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485671027743409554" /></a><br />Melissa Haynie: Would you believe that me and Wiss HATED each other when we first met. Crazy.. I know. But we have grown to love each other and even though sometimes we don't see eye to eye, we are like sisters. Wiss came to visit me in Chicago twice, and we had so much fun! I love Wiss. I love her family. Wiss is someone I would call if I wanted to play games, or go to the movies or dinner with. She will only talk about the 49ers when it comes to sports. Unless the World Cup or Olympics are on. She thinks baseball last year round and hates it. Although we did go to a Cubs game and it was like snowing! Wiss was my maid of honor in my wedding and I am so glad she was.<br />Me &amp; Wiss became really close after I ran away from home and then came back to CA. We hung out EVERY DAY. And most of the time it was with Dillon (before he became too cool). Her dad once said I was a bad influence because I didn't finish school. HAHA. I wonder what Jim thinks now? I hope he doesn't think that! Amanda is like a mom to me. I love her.<br /><br />And that is my story about Melissa Amber Haynie.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-59779977304318941022010-06-18T08:19:00.001-07:002010-06-18T08:26:57.014-07:00Praying.I could not sleep last night at all. I had to start counting because my mind was going everywhere. I am nervous because I'm looking at a house today that's right down the street! Instead of turning left on Foster, you would turn right and it's a house with a front and back yard! It is 3 bedrooms 1 bath, 2 car garage. The only down side it's right on foster, across from the high school. I am looking at it at 11:30. It's $1395, which is better than $1500!<br />I couldn't sleep last night because that is all i was thinking about. I'm scared that due to our recent history of what's been going on, we won't be able to rent, like no one will approve us. Danielle told me to stay positive. Which I am trying. <br />From the outside this house is really nice, but I have NO idea what the inside looks like, other than I know it has hardwood floors, which you can't really go wrong with! I am really excited to look at it, but I don't want to get my hopes up.. cause either a. i wont like it or b. we won't get approved. <br /><br />also I have been thinking about all that's been happening lately. we have gone through SO much the past few months. i have been looking for jobs, but NO luck. shannon sent me information about jobs on the base.. i need to look into it. <br />I have been doing secret shopping the past two months. In May I made only $200, but so far in June I have made almost $300 plus a free oil change! I think if I can make at least $400-$500, then we will be fine until I can find a job. Thankfully I am still getting unemployment, but that will run out in either August or September. <br /><br />Another thing that I'm thinking about is baby #2. We of course are not thinking about it happening any time soon. We aren't ready, and we don't have the money. But that worries me because I really don't want to wait until August is almost 3! I want them to be 2 1/2 years apart. Maybe we will start trying early next year?<br />Whatever.. I'm not planning on it anytime soon. <br />Alright thats all.<br />I'm going to post about August later! He's changed a lot! He is almost 30 pounds too!

I just need to send it to a place to hire me.<br />Matt's work is hiring for a 20 hour a week job in SLO. It only pays $10/hour but that company is AWESOME to work for. I would love to work for them...but it's in SLO. Matt used to drive 40-50 minutes to work when we lived in Chicago, so why can't I? The only thing is.. I would need to find a babysitter or day care to watch August for 4/5 hours during the morning, because the hours of this job are MORNINGS. <br />What should I do??? I really want to apply.. but I'm affraid if I DO get the job, what will I do with August?! <br />I need to find a job, a house to rent, and yeah.. Stressful. <br />I've already looked at 2 houses.. the first one HUGE backyard.. HUGE it was awesome. But the rooms were really small, the carpet was gross, one room had red carpet from the 70s! It had no dishwasher.. really outdated. <br />The other.. i walked in and it instantly smelt like smoke. the house was dirty.. but had nice size rooms and a decent kitchen.. it needed some TLC, which is fine but I don't know.. the smoke smell i dont think i would know what to do. The back yard was decent as well.. both great locations in Orcutt.<br />I want to move to AG but Matt wants to stay in SM since his work is right here.<br />Alrght, please give me some advice!<br />thanks<br />kbKristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-14595248430545111202010-05-30T22:19:00.000-07:002010-05-30T22:22:46.453-07:00I did it I did it.. I finally did it.I finally ran in a 5k and I had a lot of fun, other than the freaking HEAT! I know that I would have done so much better if it wasn't so f'ing hot. I did 3.1 miles in 40.01 minutes. I was actually really bummed because I wanted to be closer to 30/35 minutes. I haven't ran in 4 weeks, which I think made it a little harder as well. <br />I am really glad I finished and that I did it mostly running by myself. It was really peaceful and I just really really loved it. I hope now I can get a better pace and run longer and faster and when I do another race I'll beat my time. <br />However, I do need to get some new running shoes! I'm thinking about getting the ones Erin has, I really like NBs and they aren't that expensive. <br />Alright I'm really tired because I didn't nap after the run and I was at up 6!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-31530775394577694922010-05-27T10:22:00.000-07:002010-05-27T10:28:39.647-07:00I don't know what to do...I need help...we need help.<br />So the past few days August has been very difficult. He does not take a nap, he does not go to bed. He will be falling asleep in the living room but the second I put him in his crib he FREAKS out..screaming, kicking, spazzing out. I will let him cry for awhile and then when I got in there, he's jumping up and down in his bed, screaming. The past few nights Matt and I have had to rock him to sleep, but the second we put him down he screams. The past two nights we have had to lay him in bed with us, wait until he's asleep then move him into his bed. He was NEVER like this! It just started like a week or two ago. He used to be the easiest baby to put down for a nap or bedtime!<br />We are lost, we do not know what to do. Plus, he used to go to bed at 7 every night, but now it's like 8 or 9! I don't care if he stays up later, but I just don't get what is going on. I know that he has two bottom teeth coming in, one has already come through, the other is about ready too. Nothing soothes him though. It's really stressful and it's driving me and Matt crazy.<br />If anyone has a suggestion please do tell.<br />ALSO, he has been waking up really early! Using he sleeps 12 hours, 7-7..but since this craziness started he wakes up at 6-6:30! I am SO tired, that 30 minutes is killing me.<br />That's all!<br />Thanks!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-1687905301567257532010-05-20T22:17:00.000-07:002010-05-20T22:19:13.066-07:00cough cough.. snot sneezeI AM STILL SICK!

This is something that neither of us want to do, we are dreading the day it comes.<br />But I thought before I went and searched for the best daycare with spots open, I would ask any of my friends that would like to watch August a few days a week...with pay.<br />That's all the details for now.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-74254520779191246112010-05-16T15:18:00.000-07:002010-05-16T16:03:05.703-07:00Coupons & SavingsSo I am going to become one of those crazy coupon shoppers. Today was a trial run, to see what I need to improve on.. and A LIST will be the first thing and second is to get my coupons organized!<br />Here is what I spent/bought &amp; saved.<br />1. Target - They had a deal going if you buy 2 boxes of Huggies you get a $5 gift card.<br />I first bought those with 2 $3 coupons. So my total was $36.61 for 140 diapers. I got the $5 gift card and rung everything else up on a second transaction.<br /><br />Most of the items I bought were cleaning items, cat &amp; dog food, cat liter, wipes, bag of mixed chips (frito lay), and goldfish. (i forgot to give them the $1.00 coupon for the liter, it would have been only .77 cents!)<br />My total was $60.54 cents, used the $5.00 gift card, so it came out to $55.54.<br />I saved a total of $18.91.<br /><br />Then I went to Fresh &amp; Easy, which is located in Orcutt, and they are cheaper than Albertsons most of the time. I had a $3.00 off coupon of $30 a more.. so I went there to get what I knew was cheaper than Albertsons.. (they don't take manufactor coupons, which sucks because I didn't know until I went to check out, I would have saved an additional $2.00)<br />I saved $5.98, my total was $82.65.<br />I bought: oj, milk, cheese, vegis, ice cream, ziploc bags, muffins, meat, water, fruit, chicken broth, toilet paper, dressing, eggs...<br /><br />Then Albertsons:<br />Cereal, vegis (what they didn't have at fresh and easy), deli lunch meat &amp; cheese, gerber juice, white beans, bread, yogurt, charcoal, baby ibprofin, tylenol, and diet pepsi.<br />I spent $77.42.<br />I saved a total of $29.29.<br />Bonus Buy: $3.74<br />Preferred Savings: $21.06<br />MFG Coupon Savings: $4.49<br /><br />I saved $60.18 + the $5.00 coupon.<br />Not bad!<br />Even though I spent about $250, what I bought will last for at least 2 weeks. I know I will get better at planning out my list and coupons, so this is just the beginning. Plus - Walgreens &amp; CVS have really good deals, but I'm not that crazy yet!!!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-50105593426663422010-05-12T09:27:00.001-07:002010-05-12T09:28:53.527-07:00Trusting...So I have to put my trust in the Lord, because I can't handle the stress I have been feeling lately. I have to trust that He will provide for us, and that He knows what is in store for us these next few months. I pray that we can get through all of these changing times. I am leaving it up to the Lord, because that's all I know how to do right now.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-70587520959060341802010-05-11T11:55:00.001-07:002010-05-11T12:07:34.269-07:00balls to the wallIt's been awhile. Here's what's been going on:<br />August and I flew to Colorado on Tuesday, April 27 - our flight was from Santa Maria to LAX to Denver. August did AMAZING. Yes, he wasn't silent the whole time, but for 90% of the time he was. I am really glad that I flew with him for the first time, instead of me and Matt because Matt would have just made me more stressed out!<br />Anyway, the trip was wonderful. I really needed that time away and to be with my parents and brother, although I could have done without my brother a few times, he's got such a bad attitude!<br />I loved watching August interact with my parents and just see him light up every time my dad came in the room. He really did love playing with my dad and it was really funny.<br />I was able to visit Robyn, Corinne, and Maci while I was there. We all went to dinner at this place called HuHot, it's amazing!<br />Our flight back was ok. He got alittle crazy from Denver to LAX because it had been such a long day already! We had a 2 hour layover in LA and finally made it home around 7 pm on Monday, May 3.<br />Last week was crazy. Matt got really sick on Wednesday night, vomiting and diarrhea more than ever. Augie also threw up Wednesday night, that was not fun for me at all. Thursday and Friday Matt stayed home from work, and Friday I started feeling sick. I was trying to fight it, but it didn't work. I am now completely sick. Anyway, Mother's day was good, although we did NOTHING because we all still weren't 100%. Matt made me breakfast and it was really good. Then we took a nap and that was really nice.<br />Well it's now Tuesday, and I went to the doctor, my tonsils are medium size and red, Pat gave me a ZPACK which I LOVE because they always work. Although he said he doesn't know if it will this time.. ugh. Also, he told me I have a slim chance of doing that race on Saturday. He told me to just see how I feel and if I'm up to it, then do it...so I'm praying these drugs work and I can do it!<br />That's all for now. Pray that I get better so I can run in my first 5k this Saturday!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-23507199371754577722010-05-04T09:05:00.000-07:002010-05-04T09:06:24.245-07:00ColoradoI already miss my family.<br />Friends can't replace family.<br />I love my friends, but friends and family are different.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-88781545232648254402010-04-24T17:53:00.000-07:002010-04-24T18:03:10.223-07:00It feels good..to be back to running! I haven't really RAN in 2 weeks, I have done little short runs and then long walks. Today was a really good run for me, until James Way of course! I made it all the way to Mason without stopping, which is crazy. I pretty much walked up Mason, ran alittle of Tally Ho, walked most of James Way, a few sprints here and there, and then ran down James Way, ran half of rancho parkway. For the most part I feel that I did really good. My knee did not hurt at all, although my ankels hurt alittle bit.<br />My fastest pace at one point was 7.22, but that was probably going down hill, because my slowest was 18.00, hahahaha.<br />Anyway I feel that I have improved and if it wasn't for those hills I would have been able to have a better pace I feel like.<br />I hope to get in a few runs when I am in Colorado.. at least 2! But the air is so different up there.<br />Ok time for dinner!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-42132555562188971772010-04-21T10:30:00.001-07:002010-04-21T10:34:54.886-07:00Running..So I took a little break from running because my knee would hurt within the first 5 minutes. I started walking again though and my knee is feeling 100% better. I am really wanting to get out and run again but this stupid weather is holding me up. It's freezing cold, rainy and windy!<br />We are meeting Saturday for our Grrrls run, which I am really excited about, but I know it's going to be really hard for me since I haven't really RAN in almost 2 weeks. There is a few 5k-10k's that I want to do..<br />There is one on the 8th, Bull Run in Santa Maria which is a 10k, the only thing that freaks me out is I'll be in Colorado until that Monday, only giving me 4 days to really prepare myself for it.<br />Then there is the 5k that the Running Grrrls are all doing, which that will be fun and short and that's on the 15th in San Luis. And then there's the Strawberry Stampede that's on Sunday, May 30th! I for sure want to do that one.<br />Anyway.. my house smells really bad and I don't know what it is, and it's gross, I have the window open but it's really cold now!<br />Ok and goodbye.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-91488957558404857782010-04-20T12:00:00.000-07:002010-04-20T12:12:39.182-07:00Call me crazy... call me.. baby crazy..So I am having baby fever. After seeing the cutest little girl ever yesterday at GAP, it made me want a baby...a baby girl!<br />Lately when I am in August's room I think about how cute it would be with a toddler bed for August on one side, and then his crib on the other side for a baby. Think I'm crazy yet? I'm not.. I just really know that I want the kids to be 2-2 1/2 years apart. And that I want a summer-early fall baby.<br />I'm crazy I know.. but whatever.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-38512996150765037152010-04-11T18:13:00.000-07:002010-04-11T18:17:36.275-07:00please knees.so if tomorrow the weather is good, i am going to run. i haven't ran since <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">wednesday</span> because my left knee has been hurting really bad and <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">matt</span> told me to rest <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">alittle</span> bit and then when i go back to running to only do it every other day. i have some <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">tendinitis</span> in my knee so <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">thats</span> why it hurt.<br />i had an amazing 3 days well 4 if you count today, but today wasn't as amazing. went to the beach, the zoo, and the <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_5" class="blsp-spelling-corrected">aquarium</span>! it was all so much fun. i hung out with <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_6" class="blsp-spelling-error">danielle</span> 4 days this week, which will probably never happen again because she goes back to school on <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_7" class="blsp-spelling-error">tuesday</span> and then ill never see her!

He was only 56 years old. Yesterday Matt and I were trying to kill time so I said let's go find my grandpas grave. I didn't realize at the time that today is his birthday. After searching forever, I knew it was near a tree and on the left side.. I finally found his stone. I was on the phone with my mom and I was holding back tears. I think I am really emotional about it because my dad is now a grandpa and I just realize how much grandfathers mean to their grandchildren. I was never that close to my grandpa only because I was young and he was sick most of the time. My other grandpa was just never around. I want August to grow up with a good relationship with his grandpas (and grandmas of course).<br />That's all.<br />I love you grandpa.Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-51216716160309891532010-04-03T17:21:00.000-07:002010-04-03T17:42:56.866-07:00My knees..my poor kneesSo I ran over 6 miles today. 4ish miles this morning and 2.5 this evening.<br />I am tired and my knees hurt really bad.<br />Easter is tomorrow!<br />I am going to try and get a run in before we go to church.<br />I'm out!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704305964313815183.post-2184520704940269402010-03-25T09:39:00.000-07:002010-03-25T09:49:56.268-07:00Run..................So this morning I went for a run.<br />Here are my times:<br />(I walked up the hill, then started running right away, so I didn't time my walk..it's about 2 minutes though)<br />R: 15:35.6 (SAY WHAAAT)<br />W: 2:00.6<br />R: 2:02.8<br />W:1:30.3<br />R:5:58.1<br /><br />I was hurting after the 15 minutes, so I stopped and walked, then run and it was killing me, so I walked again, but decided since the last portion of my run was slightly downhill, and by slightly, I mean really you can't tell.. I decided to run it. My total time was 27 minutes.<br />The 15 minutes, I ran 1.3 miles. I think it's easier for me to run by myself..I know weird right. Also I like straight paths, flat and easy for me.<br />I'm going to be sore!Kristahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02114285994448262405noreply@blogger.com2
